[no it's undignified!!]

I would prefer not to when it's much simpler to call you all incredibly foolish.

[ boo. his desire for making corporate-like characters just explode. unsated. ]

Awww. I'd say it's good stress relief, which is pretty important when you do so much work.

Need I remind you that we are also in a library? [yelling in a library is rude?]

[ he wants to say isn't this your library you can do whatever you want— ]

Okay, I will correct my last statement to be in the context of general.

And what makes you think I'm stressed?

Well, you raised your voice earlier. From what I've seen, busybodies get stressed due to their workload, whether or not they feel a sense of accomplishment or pride. Their patience for stupidity wanes, too! Very quickly.

[ he's. thinking of the word as he fluff up the pom again. ]

Burnout? [ Blinks. ] If you're not stressed at all, you can forget what I said.

[they....are not sure if they should be offended at being called a busybody and seem to pause like they're debating if it's worth the fight. but also yeah. patience for stupidity wanes incredibly quickly in this one and the dog woofs happily, content to be fluffed.]

...it isn't relevant. The amount of work isn't going to change, and I would rather continue doing it than the alternative.

[admitting you're annoyed and frustrated sucks.]

[ it's okay, greed. he doesn't say busybody like it's bad (for some reason). Boops dog's nose once. ]

That's not wrong... And you probably have other things you enjoy doing, right?

[ please say you have hobbies ]

[people keep asking them this. and the answer is always the same.]

. . .

[uhhhhhhhhhh.]

I suppose? [it's debatable.] I have things to keep myself occupied if that's what you're implying.

[ everyone hivemind same worries/questions ]

So you don't have things you enjoy.

[ why does gojou talk to these avatars in particular ]

I do. [then?]

...they aren't what most other people enjoy, and not all of them are hobbies meant for multiple people.

Affirmative speech is good!

[ Cause to Gojou it was like... Wobbles hand. ]

That's all right. As long as there's something you enjoy, even without people. It's a solace, isn't it?

[gojou has a point, but also. they lift a hand and wave it to gesture to the books around them.]

There is a reason the library only opened just recently.

... I do have to say I like the library.

[ Aside from movies and videogames, he likes reading once in a while. ]

So thank you for sharing this with us and sorry if anything happens to it.

I'm glad someone else can appreciate it. [which is somewhat sincere and also somewhat grateful that it's one less person who might ruin it.]

It wouldn't be the first time something uncouth happened in my workspace. At least this time I can be prepared for it.

Got any defense mechanisms in here? Or are you just going to steel yourself for the worst...

[ This is so sad. Gojou is so sad for them. ]

Not in the library itself, unfortunately. All that can be done is knowing if it does get destroyed we'll be able to put it back together.

[thank you for the sympathy, they hate it here.]

That's true... I had a friend here that was adamant in taking care of our own messes and appreciating the space given to us. It'd be nice if other people followed suit.

[ He misses Steven... It's also why Gojou hasn't been nearly as much of a menace compared to week 0. ]

I should leave you to your work, but what about some book recommendations? It can be a topic for next time.

My faith in everyone as a collective constantly wavers, but there are a few of you who understand that free property does not validate property damage. [sheesh.]

What interests you? I would hate to give a poor recommendation. [not so much because gojou wouldn't enjoy it, but more because they're a perfectionist and want to do well in literally everything. also, apparently not objecting a next time.]

[ Pfft. He snickers and doesn't add another comment because... You can't argue the truth. The chaos toblerones are in them all. ]

I'm an omnivore, so I would read anything. [ That isn't helpful. Hmm. ] If I have to throw away a topic, then I guess I don't care for philosophy much.

[thank you for understanding gojou.]

That makes a few of you. [hum.] While I often find myself mostly reading books on criminology and international law, you may find interest in the history texts available, or classic literature. I let Valentino borrow Don Quixote some time ago. And Dickens is always a good choice.

I don't usually read books on criminology since sorcerers run on a different system, but it's not like I'm at home right now.

[ imagine not killing your society's problems? ]

Dickens it is, then!

So I've heard. [they have talked to mahito way too much about that particular subject.

give them a moment before they reach on a shelf behind them to pull out both a christmas carol and great expectations.]

Start with these if you'd like.

[ aki and i have cross-referenced their avatar tier list and they like greed for similar reasons which is unfortunate— ]

All right! You can expect a response from me... [ What are days? What are times? ] Next week.

[horrible. terrifying.]

Very well. A full analysis will suffice. [that is also a joke, but too bad the next time they actually speak it's because greed lost their dang eyeballs.]
